MC Duties

The Wedding MC’s Duties
It’s a huge honor to be asked to be the Wedding MC.
As Wedding MC you’ll have a number of responsibilities.
Here is a small sampling of the duties you’ll be required to perform at the wedding reception.
You’ll...
1. Welcome the wedding guests to the reception
2. Introduce yourself to the wedding guests as the Master of Ceremonies
3. Introduce the bride and groom’s parents
4. Introduce the bridal party
5. Announce (with much fanfare) the entrance of the bride and groom
6. Ask the wedding guests to stand for grace and introduce the person saying grace prior to the meal
being served
7. Introduce those making speeches and toasts
8. Read congratulatory messages from those who were unable to attend the wedding. This can also include some humorous “fictitious” telegrams
9. Announce the cake cutting ceremony
10. Announce the throwing of the bouquet and garter
11. Announce when the dancing or entertainment will begin
12. Invite the bride and groom to dance first
13. Announce the bride and groom’s departure
14. Formally end the wedding reception and thank the guests for attending
The Wedding MC might also be required to make a wedding speech or toast to the bride and groom.
As Wedding MC you’ll wear many hats - you’ll be an advisor, co-ordinator, speaker, and entertainer.
Each of these duties will require thorough preparation to ensure the reception runs smoothly and the bride and groom are left with a wonderful memory for years to come.
